Here is the second in our 1000km milestone photos. This one was taken on 28th April 2010 as we cycled between Taulis and St Marsal in France.

After speeding across the flat argenes alongside the Po river we have made it to 4000 kilometres very quickly. This photo was taken on 03 June as we headed East towards Sassoleone through the Appennino hills, climbing just outside Bisano. Unlike the previous 1000km mark on this occasion we weren’t stinky.

We’ve been going a bit slower lately because of the “so hot it cooks your banana in your panniers” summer heat, so this 1000 kilometres sort of crept up on us. After a breakfast of fresh melon, muesli and yoghurt in Novalja (a town on the island of Pag in Croatia), the bicycle computer clicked over to 5000 kilometres as we were taking one last look at the waterfront after early morning espressos. – Posted by Emma

We passed the 6000km mark in the tiny village of Glumac, Serbia (however in Sarajevo, Bosnia our bike computers mysteriously added about 50 or 60 kilometres after a short pedal around town, so we’ve let go of accuracy a little for this post). We found a free camp spot down the road and behind train tracks shortly after this photo, asking permission from an old woman carrying water from the river to her garden at the end of a hot afternoon. – Posted by Emma
